Powermate PM0106507 Vx Power Series 8,125 Watt 420cc Gas Powered Portable Generator With Electric Start Review

Everything about this generator came just in time.

On the Friday before Hurricane Sandy hit I finally agreed with my husband that we needed a generator. No stores in my local area had any stock (Since all the smart people had already purchased one and I live in NJ) so I logged into Amazon, spent some time on reviews and decided on this one. I must have hit the "buy" button about 10:30AM ish. By evening I recieved a shipped notice from Amazon with a delivery date of Tuesday. (please note that since I have prime, this item shippped 2 day and free) The generator actually arrived Monday afternoon, just as the storm was starting. So, it was in my house in ONE (yes 1) business day!!

All the comments are correct, the battery is a pain btw...

My husband put it together and we found that the electronic start does not work at the begining. (Don't fret, our theory is that it needs a slight charge to do it. It worked every time afterwards) It started on the first pull and chugged along assisting us through 13 days without power. Now, we did not run it all the time because of the gas shortages but the beast did a commendable job.

There are a couple of things to keep in mind.
1. you can't run it outside while it is raining. One of those snowball things. It never dawned on me that it would need its own house.
2. Its loud... no question about it. They all seem loud, so its not worrying to me.
3. Buy the oil for its first oil change now, do not wait till you are in the middle of a storm to try to find oil.
4. If you put it in the shed to run, make sure all the doors/windows are open, even if it is raining.
5. we found that it would run at a moderate load for about 12 hours.
6. It ran the freezer, fridge, husbands PC network (this is not just a computer) cable router, tv, dvd, playstation, kitchen and living room lights, while charging a plethera of electronic gadgets) without breaking a sweat. I even used it to run the washing machine a few times.
